5 GLOBAL TRENDS PROPELLING E-BIKES

ePEDALER's mission statement is simple: We want to get more of us off our car seats more often and onto bicycle saddles for 'fun, fitness and financial gain.'

Ever ridden an electric bicycle? Probably not; largely because unless you live in Asia or maybe Europe, chances are you didn't even know they exist, must less had the opportunity to try one.

ePEDALER International, aims to change this. We want to give tens of thousands of people the opportunity every day to ride an e-bike.

How?

It's really very simple. We have developed an innovative rental model that allows Independent Operators, at little expense to them, to provide cruise passengers and vacationers in high traffic, highly seasonal destination locations with a complete solar-charged electric bicycle 'pop-up' rental shop. We provide the hardware and software, they provide the location and staff. We attract more customers for them and share the revenue. It's just that simple.

And when the season ebbs, ePEDALER relocates the 'shop', maximizing our equipment utilization rates and income potential for our investors. It's a win3 for all; especially for our renters, who get to experience, many for the very first time, the thrill of 'Riding the Current.'

ePEDALER's Business Model is Predicated on Five Global Trends:

Global urbanization - The majority of mankind now live in cities where bicycles make imminently more sense than automobiles1.

Aging tsunami - The number of people over 60 will exceed the number of children on Earth by 2047 2

Bike Helmets, Accidents, and Hygiene

London Mayor Boris Johnson takes a spin on a bikeshare bicycle down Spring Street in Melbourne, Australia. He regularly rides a bike back home in England, often without wearing a helmet. Ironically, that's illegal in Melbourne, which likely accounts for why the system is underutilized.

SHOOT-OUT #4

We've now conducted three previous E-bike Shoot-Out polls. In our fourth poll we ask which of the following two styles of e-bikes would you be most interested in renting while on holiday or vacation. The V-Bike is a comfortable beach cruiser. The NTS Works 'Fat Free' is a blend of utility and beach-style bike.
